Kazdoura
We are thrilled to release the first single from our upcoming debut LP. “Mar7aba Ahlen” is a high-energy track that blends North African and Arabic rhythms with global roots, and neo-psychedelic rock. The track combines grief, tenderness, and joy through its lyrics. It explores themes of homeland, warmth, and motherhood from the lens of a yearning immigrant who celebrates nostalgia and culture through dance and rhythm. It’s full of authentic expressive Arabic melodies and an innovative presentation of tradition and modernity, showcasing more to come from Kazdoura.
lyrics
مرحبا أهلين
لو ترجع ل أمي
الضحكة تملي دارا
لو يرجع من الغياب
شباب هجرت دارا
ويلي
لو شمس بالدي
اتدفي إيدين بردانة
لو بتشيل هموم
عن عيون تعبانة
ويلي
مرحبا أهلين
